6-2    Programmer’s Manual 

An application can 

♦ 

print single labels. 

♦ 

print multiple labels. 

♦ 

reprint labels. 

No matter what printing method it uses, the application must 

1. 

Initialize the Print subsystem using pc

l

Init. 

2. 

Calibrate the supplies using pclCalibrate or 
pclCalibratePaper (if using supplies other than fax paper). 

3. 

Call pclPaperSetup if pclCalibratePaper was called in the 
previous step. 

4. 

Print using any method listed above. 

5. 

Close the Print subsystem with pclClose. 

Printing Single Labels 

To print single labels, send a format and a batch (with a 
quantity of 1) to the printer.  SAMPLE1.C in the Samples sub-
directory illustrates printing single labels. 

Printing Multiple Labels 

An application can print multiple labels in a strip or in a loop.  
When setting up a method to print multiple labels, you must 
specify one of the following 

♦ 

quantity 

♦ 

peel mode/on-peel mode 

♦ 

feed mode
